The Non-Official Iowa Caucus Result Thread: Positive Vibe & Analysis Only

[frank frankly]

As of 6:47, with 0% Reporting it is a 10 Way Tie!

Damn, this is an exciting night!

The first big step in getting rid of BushCo!

To everyone who has fought for a candidate, or for information, or for the strange appeal of a horse race that will determine if us mammals are gonna make it...I applaud your interest and dedication.

It is on.

[Democrats unite]

1. 10 way?

Whos running I don't know about?

[frank frankly]

2. The NYTimes still has CMB on the ballet and apparently "Undecided" matters

and I thought it was funny.

:hi:

[Democrats unite]

5. Thanks for the reply...

I did not know that.

[aquart]

3. And remember, a good man will win tonight.

Even if you (or I) don't completely agree with him.

Whatever happens, we're lucky. Look at what the Republicans got.

[frank frankly]

4. exact-o, aquart!

we'll be one step closer to unity!

[maddezmom]

6. Go Dems...hope there's a huge turnout

:)

[frank frankly]

7. It will be a HUGE turnout

for sure, for real

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

24. only because Carol dropped out

it's true

[frank frankly]

26. i hear you, whocountsthevotes

i liked it better when CMB was in the mix

[saltpoint]

8. Our Democratic candidates --

-- have stirred a lot of people in Iowa to participate tonight. I hope it turns out to be a record caucus attendance and I hope that brainless ninny is Washington is paying attention.

The Iowans at caucuses tonight are inspired and mobilized Democrats and their noble aim is to haul George Bush's ass out of the White House.

Bravo, Iowa Democrats! Great voters to match great candidates!

[frank frankly]

9. the results gotta start coming in soon!

wow

[jenk]

11. I think the results trickle in between 8:45-9:30

[frank frankly]

13. A huge turnout

Is exactly what the repukes don't want to see, because it shows democrats are awake, active, and CARE once again. This is what hurt us in 2002 and 2000.

[maddezmom]

14. and that's what all Dems want to see...We are ready to take back the WH

GO Dems!!!

[pinto]

15. kick, all good for the Dem Party, and all primaries....n/t

[incapsulated]

16. I'll spoil the thread..

With a negative vibe.

Bushco. have deliberately choosen to make the State of the Union speech right after the caucus to deflate the amount attention it would normally get.

However, NH is still right around the corner, and the eleventh hour tightening of the race has given the media a reason to ramp-up their coverage.

Good luck to all the candidates, may the best man win. :)

[frank frankly]

17. i don't know, yo

I think Chimpy's SOTU is going to be a tough sell, even for our whore media.

Iowa is the story today and tomorrow. Bush will get a smaller impact because of Iowa, I think...

[windansea]

19. yep seems kind of dumb to me n/t

[funky_bug]

20. God love those Iowans

They're all there in sweaters and hats and coats... God love 'em all!

(kick)

[incapsulated]

21. Although that's true

That the SOTU would get a bigger play-up, it will also take some of the wind out of the sails of the Iowa winner's coverage. It was a strategic move on their part.

But as I said, with NH following on Iowa's heels, Bush will get knocked off the headlines quickly.

[frank frankly]

23. i hear you about NH

loud and clear, incapsulated!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

18. that could be a good thing, though

with New Hampshire next week, it gives our side more of a mic to fire back at the state of the union hype that we normally don't have

[frank frankly]

22. yes, yes!

the key is who is going to do the Dem response tomorrow night????

[frank frankly]

25. some positive links here
